Thank you for an incredible trip in Peru. My son I I were lucky to be the only participants on the Inca Trail with our awesome guide Andres and our 8 porters. We felt like VIPs as we were provided 3 course meals and our tents set up for us after a long hard day of trekking. The views on the trail were amazing and the ruins were fantastic to explore and learn about. Andres' knowledge and experience is vast and he shared his country and culture with us. While the trekking was challenging, the views and landscape such as the cloud forest made it worthwhile and spectacular. Arriving at Machu Picchu was the experience of a lifetime. We were graced with fine but cold weather. World Expeditions enabled everything to work seamlessly from being met each day by someone, to the tours of the Sacred Valley. I highly recommend this trip to Peru.
Our trip was the Ancascocha trek in Peru. It was an amazing trip with beautiful landscapes and great hiking. Our team was great, very friendly and very knowledgeable guide, great food everyday from our chef. We enjoyed the trip so much that we would have enjoyed an additional day or two of hiking.
Loved it!! This was an excellent well organised adventure. Lima Tours did a great job on the ground - good attention to the little things and keen to ensure we experienced as much as possible. Our guide in the Sacred Valley and Inca Trail, Ever, was exceptional. He was knowledgeable and passionate about sharing the culture and history of the area and very focused on ensuring we got the most out of our experience. He was super patient and kind with the slow people (me!) and his gentle humour and encouragement got me through the tough wet days 2 and 3. Without his constant reassurance I might not have made it! I was in awe of him and all the porters who made up our crew. They were fantastic. Everyone should do this!
My wife and I recently had the pleasure of taking a tour of Inca Trail with Yaritza as our tour guide, Rolando the chef and Belarmino's team of porters. The team provided an excellent tour of 5 out of 5 stars. In every way it was wonderful. Yaritza’s knowledge of Inca and all aspects of the tour were outstanding. Her knowledge and passion shone through on many occasions. She is very attentive, has a good sense of humour and was able to tailor the discussion around aspects we were most interested in. Rolando’s culinary creations throughout the tour were exceptional. Every dish had lots of flavour and the desserts were incredible - we are still not sure how he did it! Belarmino’s team was always there and always ready for us. They make it look so easy. We thank you all very much.
We wish to commend our Inca Trail guide Ever for his outstanding assistance during our journey. This included our sightseeing in and around Cusco, where Ever's extensive knowledge enhanced our understanding of the sights. On the trail, we also got excellent support from chef Orlando and his team of porters who do an amazing job to facilitate these treks. We were also very happy with Machu Picchu guide Daniel, who took us around on our additional tour of the ancient city, where he displayed his expert knowledge as one of the longest standing Machu Picchu guides. We also appreciated the support of all associated, especially when they made a late night effort to retrieve our luggage when it failed to show up as expected after the trek. Overall, it was a great experience made possible by the hard working staff in Peru.
If you’ve ever dreamed of tracing the footsteps of the Incas, the "Classic Inca Trail" tour offers a perfect blend of history, adventure, and highland beauty. This 11-day guided trekking trip starts in Lima and ends in Cusco, giving travelers ample time to acclimatize and immerse themselves in the legacy of the Inca civilization before hitting the renowned Inca Trail.
Along the way, you’ll explore Cusco and the Sacred Valley, ascend mountain passes and jungle trails, and marvel at the cloud forest panoramas that inspired the ancient Incas. The trek culminates with an unforgettable sunrise arrival at Machu Picchu, followed by a night in Aguas Calientes that allows for a second, quieter visit to the mystical ruins.
The standout feature of this trek package is its thoughtful pacing, which maximizes acclimatisation and cultural enrichment, ensuring that you experience Machu Picchu at its most magical and meaningful.
